Horn switch device, airbag system, and steering wheel

摘要

To improve the operability of a horn switch device. Sliders (61 and 62) are fitted around a guide shaft (50). The sliders (61 and 62) mount contact members (71) and (72), respectively. The contact member (71) is pushed against an overhang (45) via a bracket (81) by a coil spring (91). The contact member (72) is pushed against an extension (16) via a bracket (82) by the coil spring (91). The contact member (72) is also pushed upward by a coil spring (92). When a module cover (40) is depressed, the coil springs (91) and (92) are compressed to bring the contact members (71 and 72) into contact with each other, thereby sounding the horn.
